other) of such General Intangible or Instrument against each liability, cost and

Debtor, with full power of substitution and of revocation, to take, in the name
of such Debtor or otherwise and otherwise as shall be determined by the Secured
Party at the sole option of the Secured Party, each action relating to any of
the Collateral that, subject to this Agreement, such Debtor could take in the
same manner, to the same extent and with the same effect as if such Debtor were

do so shall be delivered, given or sent by the Secured Party to any Debtor upon
or at any time after the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, (a)

Intangible or Instrument included in the Collateral), that the Secured Party
shall deem necessary or desirable at the sole option of the Secured Party to
permit the sale or other disposition of any such General Intangible or
Instrument without registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, (e)

portion of the Collateral as is reasonably specified in any notice delivered or
sent by any Debtor and received by it in a reasonable time to evaluate and take
